Vendors (Hair/Make-up/etc) Posting Pictures of You Without Permission, Second Guessing Vendor :(
Hi all,
Having had second thoughts about the woman I booked for make-up, I found her FB page just now and liked it. After doing so, I realized that one of her recent pictures was a before and after of me. I went to her that morning with my hair a mess, very run down, looking worse than usual...(I had huge bags under my eyes from scrubbing away at stubborn waterproof mascara, allergies, etc.) and she took my before picture in very shadowy, bad light. I'm pretty sure it's actually the worst picture I've ever seen of myself.
I understand she'd want to post her work, but she didn't tell me she was going to do this. A few of my friends had already 'liked' the photo on Facebook, much to my chagrin. If she had just asked me and showed me the pictures, I could have told her how I felt (which would be that I wouldn't mind her posting the after shots of her work but that I'd prefer the first picture not go on Facebook).
I tried calling her a few times recently to talk about timing the day of. She sent me a text late one night giving some quick info but saying that it was late and we'd speak soon. She didn't call back. (This was a week ago.) I tried calling before and didn't get her, so I sent a text asking when would be a good time to speak and asking if she could remove the picture from Facebook.
The reason I was having second thoughts to begin with was that as I was booking her, she told me I would have to make sure to get a refining mask and scrub daily, etc. because I have 'big pores' and that the make-up might not be able to mask them? (something to that effect). I do have an area of blackheads and slightly bigger pores around my nose, but everyone I have ever gotten makeup done from before has told me that I have great skin (including the trial I had right before her, who I regret not going with instead) . I chose this woman because I loved the colors she used on me and a lot of people recommended her, but realistically, I could have asked the first girl to modify the colors she used/etc.
I am feeling so disheartened. In my contract, the cancellation policy states 'Cancellation of any part of this contract must be made in writing 135 days prior to reserved date or you will be responsible for the full amount of services agreed upon in this contract' (The 135 days have passed...they might have even passed already when I did the trial.) I left her a $150 deposit, and she wrote down the prices for bridal party and a few extra services, though I told her I wasn't sure who would or wouldn't want makeup from my bridal party.
Anyone ever experience anything similar?![]()
